Dudley has developed its own local guidance and processes for some aspects of safeguarding practice. Below you will find this local guidance and downloadable documents.

Professional Challenge and Resolution is a process of formally challenging a decision made by another professional, group or organisation. This procedure ensures that all professionals have a quick and straightforward means of resolving professional differences in order to safeguard the welfare of children, young people and adults.
